on a French autoroute on the way to La Rochelle i saw an indicated 167
![]() ![]() have to say tho that after a few hours testing top speed it gets boring - cornering is waaaaay more fun and wears your tyres evenly! (unless you spend all the time you ride going round roundabouts!!!) ![]() i'm sure it's already been said, but any numpty can point a bike in a straight line and twist the throttle to the stop, but it takes real skill to make fast progress on a twisty road (ie- corner quickly!)... /. |

An indicated 143mph out of my 1999 svs (yellow of course) solo and flat on the tank. 120mph 2 up fully loaded with luggage and me sat upright (cos the mrs didn't like the wind blast
![]() I've also got a BMW735 that's capable of 140 but have only had 110 and that felt scary. Strange, feels more stable on the bike. |

i did a 113mph in my mums D reg golf 1.6 cl
It was great fun until the distributer threw a cog and i broke down mile away from home and had to get towed back by the very kind people from the RAC. my top speed on a bike was 90mph on a G reg Honda CB350s. It was no where the red line but it wouldnt go any faster. |

135 indicated on the SV
160 indicated on the back of a GSXR750 165 in the passenger seat of a Skyline. Speeds are clearly all in kilometres per hour, and were done in a dream. Danno ![]() |

indictated 235 km/hr on the SV.... back roads of Oz.... fantastic
![]() ok converting that to miles = 146.8 mph. Now I was doing an indicated ton when Mr Plod pulled me and told me I was doing 95... allowing for 5% overreading = 139.5 mph ![]() and on the CBR, indicated 155mph... probably 145mph realistically ![]() |
